From America Voice's Press release. Idea of government shutdown brought up again. Looks like the Democrats are serious about doing it this way. They'll look really weak if they don't.:

The White House and its GOP allies in Congress seem hell bent on going it alone on every challenge facing the country. It hasn’t worked for them so far on other issues, and it won’t work for them on this one, either. Let’s be clear that this move makes a GOP government shutdown more probable. By December 8th of this year, Congress has to approve a spending bill to keep the federal government open. If recent history is any guide, many Republicans will refuse to vote for any such spending measure. And if the Dream Act is not included in such a spending bill, the vast majority of Democrats will not vote for it. The bottom line, then, is that if Trump and Congressional Republicans don’t work with Democrats to solve the crisis brought about by Trump’s decision to end DACA, the Republican Party will be hurtling towards a government shutdown over an issue that more than 80% of the American people believe should be resolved so that Dreamers can stay in the country they call home. *
